Psa --snow!

O.K. Here we are near the Nation's Capital.
80% chance of snow starting Monday around noon. 3 to 5 inches likely, before ending on Tuesday.

Washington, DC 'public service' announcement. . . . .
Abandon your cars, NOW!

Sorry. I just HAD to do that.
When anyone in/around DC hears the word 'Snow' they FREAK out!!!!

Almost sounds like Portland. I've never seen a city before that, when cars get stuck in a snowstorm, folks just lock em up where they were and walk off. Amazing.

When I hear the word snow in a weather forecast I gather up some firewood, restock with ammo, fuel up the tractor and make sure my Carhartt insulated bibs and my boots are near the heat vent or woodstove.


Next morning I go hunting with the bird dogs, clear out a few driveways, folks flag me down to come do theirs then I go bird hunting again.

Come wind, rain, snow, high water and hell weather ain't stopping me, often it encourages me!

No, I'm retired now. Thankfully I don't have to fight that mess daily. Getting so a 12 mile trip to Waldorf from Clinton is a half day trek with even the daytime traffic.

Saw on the news this morning, the dairy shelves in the grocery stores were almost bare this morning. Panic time!

Hey, I used to live in Waldorf. Not long before we moved to Oklahoma. Good luck with that snow storm. I remember the days of shoveling feet of snow just to get from our apartment to the parking lot. I must say though, there are better snow drivers out there than here in Oklahoma. I would guess that comes from years of dealing with the stuff. Stay warm and carry an empty pop bottle, or two, in case you get stuck on the beltway with no place to go.

I've got a little more than 3 years to go before I can retire. (May 1, 2009, but who's counting!?!?!?)
Only problem with that is, my wife says that I CAN retire, but, I better have the laundry done, the house clean, the shopping done, and dinner on the table, by the time she gets home. (Oh yeah. . . some retirement to look forward to!)

Schools let out 2 hours early today and my daughter forgot her keys. I got called out of work early. (Awe shucks. I missed RUSH hour!)

Yup. I know Clinton rather well. I grew up running around Clinton/Brandywine area. Clinton Plaza Shopping Center, Mickey D's across Woodyard Road from the shopping center, BK Miller's and Hyde Field and The Ranch Drive-In.
Ya know, I've lived here since 1967, and I've still never gone through the Mary Surratt House.
(Maybe in the spring. I'll take the kids.)

Stay warm, 94!

Keith
